Abstract
It seems that effective food education on nutrition should be carried on from the early stage of homemaking education not only from the standpoint of the variety and function of nutriment but also from that of quantity. And we tried to afford an effective teaching material for the food education. Our particular attention was given to the following : 1) To the description of quantity of nutrition with a new unific unit for each nutriment, though quantity is described with various units for each today. 2) To the making of bar graphs of the quantity of nutriments so that school children may understand the quantity easily. Thus, the teaching material enables school children to understand directly both the recommended daily dietary allowances of complicated volume and the quantity of each nutriment in food, it also enables them to compare immediately the recommended allowances with the quantity of each nutriment in the food they cooked, and they can make a plan of well-ballanced meals by themselves more easily.
